because my doctor wanted me to stay over night and the insurance swore it was out patient surgery. My doctor swears she never heard of that before, but in the middle of the night, they had to give me oxygen because my throat was closing up. Also my stitches ruptured and I had to get resown. Would have been fun happening at home. The insurance did pay, but for being in surgery for 4 hours for the removal of cancer parts and surrounding lymph nodes, odd to be an immediate outpatient.
